The Acculogic hover sense non-contact probe.
inTEST Corporation’s Electronic Test Division is set to launch its latest innovation in electric vehicle (EV) battery testing technology. The Acculogic patent-pending hover sense non-contract probe is set to bring improvements in the validating of quality and reliability in EV battery interconnects.
Ensuring high levels of efficiency and dependability is paramount in EV battery production, with all cell interconnects critical to the battery’s overall performance and ability to charge. The new probe utilises advanced magnetic field measurement techniques to analyse the battery interconnect quality without having to make physical contact.
“The primary cause of failure for electric battery modules is battery cell interconnect quality issues,” said Karim Dehkordi, Vice President of Technology at Acculogic. “The groundbreaking Acculogic non-contact test technology marks a major advancement in assuring the quality and reliability of EV battery interconnects while improving test speed and design validation technique.”
Key benefits of the Acculogic hover sense non-contact probe module:
- Reduces the risk of surface degradation and markings being made by the probe with its non-contact abilities.
- Complete test coverage is available to the user without having direct access to the battery’s anode or cathode.
- Test times are reduced with parallel testing available through multi-sensor fixtures.
Additionally, the non-contact probe module is compatible with the Stingray EVO500 Battery Tester. The solution allows manufacturers to quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively complete tests of battery module interconnects.
